This watch contains the original movement (timepiece), dial (face), and hands from a vintage (1880’s – 1950’s) pocket watch. The American Artisan Series is a line of fully American Made wristwatches powered by restored, U.S. made pocket watch movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"optional-custom-description\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the Springfield 409 Unique: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe rustic look of this aged Illinois dial blends perfectly with our black, diamond-like-coating titanium case. We continued the dark motif with a black strap and accented the rest of the watch with copper crown and hardware. We love to wonder how a watch like this gathers so much wear and tear over its lifetime, and take great pleasure in displaying these unique qualities. The movement inside this watch is none other than the Time King from Illinois. This was one of the most high-end trim packages for a watch of its time, which boasts 21 screw-set jewels and brass hardware. Rose gold gears, a brass balance wheel, double roller escapement, and gorgeously machined Geneva lines all come together to create the unbelievable movement you see here. This watch was originally manufactured in 1926, a time when new technological advancements were being made at light-speed. Air travel was no exception to this boom. US Congress saw the unstoppable growth happening and passed the Air Commerce Act, licensing commercial airplanes and the pilots who would be flying them. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"mvmnt-year-initial\"\u003e1926\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"mvmnt-serial-initial\"\u003e4798247\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39385154715726,"sku":null,"price":3500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/2021-05-26-3446.jpg?v=1622071992","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-springfield-409-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
